I've searched the forums and haven't found anything addressing the issue:

I've created external links so that when I right-click on a passage in the Browse Window [Hebrew/English] I have the option at the bottom to "Narrate [Version] Chapter." So far, I have Hebrew mp3 on my hard drive to point to, and I am using the <Book><Chapter> naming comvention in the file path and mp3 filenames. That works great, no problem there. However, one of the link I created goes out to http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/<version>/<book>.<chapter> and plays the audio chapter for the <book>.<chapter> that I have passed.

This link works fine only when the <book> name for the biblegateway (BG) path matches the Default Abbreviation book name in BW. For instance, take Genesis 10: BW is defaulted to "Gen" and BG has http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/kjv/Gen.10. This works fine because the abbreviations match.

But when BW and BG differ, Gen 1 always play in BG (by default). Take Esther 1: BW has the default "Est" but BG has "Esth". No matchy, no worky.

Now, my question is this, in the External Link Manager, is there a way to pass a "Command Line Alias #N" in the place of <book> so that I can create abbreviations to match BG or any other path that differs from the BW default?

BW links

In essence the script converted the BW abbreviation into a format, a book number, which was used to call the other program. You could simply substitute in different abbreviations or whole names. Then call the appropriate program or websight.

Thanks, Greg. I didn't realize I received a response. I'll try this out when I get a chance.
